4 months since my last post. This should give you an idea of my hectic life as a software developer. Build..Test.. Deploy.....Build..Test.. Deploy.. This seems to be the only thing that I have been doing lately and hasn't left me with any time to do anything else.

Things have got to change and NOW is the time :-)

Back in Febuary, I came accros a file (via some random Google Search about Sitecore) that outlined some good one-liners about building websites using Sitecore. At that time, I added the link to my favourites and didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I've accessed the link again (by mistake..), I realise that so many of those "guidelines" are correct. Unfortunately, I did not capture the author of the text file at that time. Here's the online version

The Sitecore Way

1) Think about the CMS users not just the Web site. The Sitecore Way.

2) Use XSLT to minimize code compilation for maintenance. The Sitecore Way.

3) Get better performance with ASP.NET user-controls. The Sitecore Way.

4) Use an ASP.NET master for your layouts. The Sitecore Way.

5) Return Item ID for XSLT extension results. The Sitecore Way.

6) Avoid setting language in a request after the Sitecore pipeline. The Sitecore Way.

7) Use icons for your masters and templates. The Sitecore way.

8) Protect /sitecore as much as you can. The Sitecore way.

9) Cookieless is possible, but be careful. The Sitecore way.

10) It's very important to Organize the content structure correctly. The Sitecore Way.

11) Finalize design as much as you can before implementation. The Sitecore way.

12) Ask for design behavior specs not just content info. The Sitecore way.

13) Use file system for large files instead of media library. The Sitecore way.

As readily as I noticed this website I went on reddit to moiety any of the enthusiasm beside them. “A order or shower is an posh anonymous devised to economize a male from the pique of thinking.” by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I think other website owners should take this website as an example , very clean and fantastic user genial layout. “Grant us a brief delay impulse in everything is but a worthless servant.” by Caecilius Statius.
